@zoran: "Dear all!
I consider buying new keyboard and found happy hacker lite 2
model suiting fine. Is there someone on the list with expe-
rience using it? I'm aware I should change rc.conf to meet it's
65 key layout. Also, how xorg.conf has to look like in this
situation?
Best regards

There is always chance to use it with ps2 converter. All new keyboards
are usb in fact, but I add that little plastic in between.
K. Then I have to change nothing.
I don't have this. Should be easy to check out if necessary.
Yep, I assume I would have to change my xmodmaprc to match new layout.
The other part is that fvwm2rc uses that layout to have extra tweaks
for window manager.
I still have something to ponder. To have more than one screen in fvwm,
actually four of them, I ought to turn off numpad first. Then I use com-
bination of Alt-Fx to jump here and there. In bios I removed numpad and
it is not working on the kb, to my wish. Any thought how it goes on HH?

I should note that the feature needed in your BIOS to make a USB
keyboard work in operating systems that lack USB drivers (ex. MS-DOS,
FreeBSD bootloader, GRUB, etc.) is often called "USB Legacy" or "USB
Keyboard/Mouse Emulation".
If your BIOS does not offer this capability, you need to contact your
system manufacturer and discuss this fact.  Don't bother to mention
FreeBSD or GRUB.  Simply tell them that when you boot into MS-DOS via a
floppy or CD-ROM, you cannot type anything at the C:\> prompt on your
keyboard.
Otherwise, try upgrading the system BIOS + reset the settings to
factory defaults and see if you find any improvement.  If not, continue
communicating with your system manufacturer.

Sorry for late reply.
My old keyboard has numpad part. Since hh lite 2 has it not,
I simply ask for behaveor of kb with options I set. I turn
off numpad support in bios first. It removes numpad and let
me jump from one part of the big screen in fvwm2 to the other
one. If I turn numpad on, I cannot do that.
Since I never used usb keyboard, cannot comment on the other
concern, hh lite 2 and booting process.
Best regards all

Hrm, strange that a nice keyboard like that comes as USB only. My Adesso  
comes natively as PS/2 but has a PS/2 to USB converter that works  
flawlessly. The idea is that PS/2 is better for keyboards because it  
allows you to simultaneously press more keys at once than USB can handle.  
Anyway, I've had really bad luck with off the shelf adapters. You are  
probably OK with just running it as USB.
Regards,
Mark

Professional is a bit expensive. Lite 2 is just fine to
my needs.
They are all usb models nowadays. Fashion, just as wide
screen monitors are. My plan, when kb arrives, is to put
adapter to the end of cable and connect it to ps/2 jack.
Manufacturer has a wiki page, where he ponders against
usb -> ps/2 correction. That was the starting point for
my original post. For what reason are they against?
Btw, have you changed something in node configuration to
match 65 key kb? How it goes in xorg.conf file in line
for driver, which is "kbd" for ps/2 kb? I disabled hald
whith those 3 lines:
Section "Server Flags"
        Option  "DontZap"               "off"
        Option  "AllowEmptyInput"       "off"
        Option  "AutoAddDevices"        "false"
EndSection

    @zkolic: "Finally got the kb. As almost everyone anticipated,
it refused to work connected to ps/2 adapter with
usb -> ps/2. I had to recompile the kernel and put
usb code back.
So far, so good. Thanks all for support.
